Mr. Speaker, today Quebec enjoys great strength and stability in its dairy sector, with some 12,000 commercial dairy farms, $1.3 billion in cash receipts from milk production, milk quota values in excess of $2 billion, 20,000 jobs in rural Quebec, 83 dairy processing plants, 7,400 processing jobs in those plants, and 47 per cent of the Canadian national industrial milk quota. All that is to the advantage of Quebec because of Quebec's participation in the Canadian supply and management system.
In the House of Commons on October 18th, 1995. See this statement in context.
